Bryan recently mentioned that we were enabling the connection to the Mac OS X Address Book by default, and providing UI for it; well the good news is that I just landed the patch. From tomorrow’s nightlies, you’ll be able to access your Mac OS X Address Book from within Thunderbird by default.

If you’re on Mac, and whether you download the next nightly or the next alpha, please give it a go and let us know what you think and file any problems in the normal place.
